Weather of Arabia - Imagine your life without a phone or any electronic devices, this is how Marine Richard lives, who spends her life in the mountains of southwestern France to avoid electronic devices, phones and screens, where she suffers like other people from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), so what is this sensitivity? How do people with it live?<h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Symptoms of electromagnetic sensitivity</h2> According to people who say they have electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), exposure to electromagnetic fields causes symptoms such as:<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Headache</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> skin problems</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Musculoskeletal pain</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Sleep disorders</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Mood problems</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Dizziness</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Memory difficulties</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Difficulty concentrating</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Feeling of heat in the face</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> numbness - nausea and fatigue;</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> "tingling" sensation</li></ul> This is when they are exposed to electromagnetic radiation from cell phones, WiFi waves, or even batteries, monitors, and other electronic devices that emit electromagnetic radiation.<h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The emergence of electromagnetic sensitivity for the first time</h2> The first reports of electromagnetic hypersensitivity are believed to have occurred in the mid-20th century, with the former Soviet Union saying that army radar technicians and those working with radio experienced symptoms of the allergy, then known as “microwave syndrome.” Since then, many have reported Some people have electromagnetic hypersensitivity, especially since electronics are becoming more common.<h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Is electromagnetic sensitivity a recognized disease?</h2> Although electromagnetic hypersensitivity has been reported in many people, it is not a recognized disease in the medical field, and studies have failed to find a strong clinical relationship between EMF and reported symptoms. Scientific studies have not demonstrated a clear link between the type of radiation emitted from household items and health problems in humans, so electromagnetic sensitivity is not a recognized condition in countries like the United Kingdom, where there is no evidence that low-level magnetic fields are harmful to health. However, the medical community is aware of the minor health effects of exposure to some high-level electromagnetic radiation, such as power lines. However, many people claim to suffer from the condition, and some scientists have suggested that it may be a real fear response to the effects of radiation, rather than a symptom. In Sweden and Germany, the condition is classified as an "occupational disease", although debate continues in those countries about the scientific reason behind the symptoms. Concerns about the case have also been raised in the United States, where the parents of a student at the school filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts claiming that high-density Wi-Fi used in classrooms was causing their son to experience headaches, chest pains, nosebleeds, nausea, dizziness and rashes, all of which are symptoms of Recognized for electromagnetic sensitivity.<h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> How do people with electromagnetic sensitivity live their lives?</h2> People with electromagnetic sensitivity suffer in this era more than ever before due to the spread of phones and electronics everywhere, which are invisible rays, which increases their suffering in identifying danger areas. Therefore, people with electromagnetic sensitivity choose to live in rural or mountainous areas far from sources of electromagnetic radiation, and if they are forced to be in cities, they avoid taking taxis and public transportation due to the presence of people carrying mobile phones, even walking in roads and markets near people who use mobile phones and devices. electronic, cause them allergic reactions. Imagine that the TV, laptop computer, and even household appliances such as a washing machine or microwave cause allergies to them!<h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Is there a cure for electromagnetic sensitivity?</h2> There is no specific treatment for magnetic sensitivity, and sufferers are usually asked to see a mental health professional, to identify and treat underlying psychological conditions that may contribute to the emergence of symptoms by offering the following to help deal with electromagnetic fields:<ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Cognitive behavioral therapy.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Psychological techniques for removing allergy symptoms.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Environmental changes, such as reducing indoor air pollution, reducing excess noise, improving poor lighting, and adding relaxing elements to the space.</li></ul>
